Boeing Is Close To Finalizing a Joint Venture with Brazil’s Embraer

Boeing is said to be close to finalizing a joint venture with Brazil’s Embraer. Pictured is an Embraer E175 flown for Alaska Airlines by SkyWest.

Skift Take: Airbus is weeks from closing a deal with Bombardier to take over the poorly selling but technologically impressive C Series jet. It makes sense Boeing would want to do something similar. Boeing seeks a closer relationship with Bombardier’s main rival, Embraer.
